500 pounds is a shitload of weight to bench.

outstanding bro..i am 35 lbs from fitting the 500 myself, but that is alot of weight to move..isnt it amazing as you climb up there the difference 5 pounds or 10 can make on a lift...

did you find it rough to jump that much in weight between sets...

and how does you chest routine look, or is most of your strength from tris lats back shoulders?

just curious..

east, i do alot of incline movements i rarely bench-- but will be doing it for a few weeks for a change of pace

i usually start out with 4 sets of incline barbell press,3 sets of incline dumbell , weighted dips then finish with flyes--

it was not that bad to jump that fast in weight either-- i was feeling good so once i started we just kept adding-- my goal is 600 lbs for 1 clean rep--

my goal now is 500...at my age and 215-220 i will be happy...i am going to be entering some bench comps here soon..

for not doing a ton of chest work, you got it made..i see 600 in you near future...

do you basically hit power moves like squats and deads..i hit them, not as i should and i was amazed how tose overall increased my bench...

[house1]

east, i love squats and deads bro--- try doing them the same day -- one hell of a workout bro

House 1 what are your stats? Do you have a good strength to weight ratio? 500lbs is fucking awsome. My best ever is 355lbs when I was weighing in at 225lbs.

Keep puonding the wieghts and you'll be their no problem. You said you don;t do bench very often. Me either. I do much of my work with dumbbells on the stability ball. I find that after not benching for a while when I go back I'm much stronger. When you used dumbbells you strengthen many of the smaller stabalizing muscle that once strong enough can synergistically help to press more weight in the bench press motion. Do you train for strength or body building?
